On the second day, Yu'er was teasing the second prince in Xia Lin's room, and while she was joking, Yan Su suddenly bowed down and walked in, and replied, "Niangniang, the people of Yikun Palace ask to see you!" ”

Yikun Palace has been vacant for many years, and yesterday Princess Jiuye entered the palace Chu Sheng specially gave them the couple to live in, why did he send someone to see him today. Although I was puzzled, in the end, I still ordered someone to politely invite in, but the person who came was the maid who followed Princess Jiuye yesterday, she saw Yu'er respectfully bending her knees and asking for peace, and said: "The slave and maid ask for Yugui Concubine Niangniang, and wish Niangniang a long life!" Yu'er smiled kindly and replied, "No need to be polite, this palace recognizes you as the person next to Princess Jiuye, can your princess still live in the palace?" ”

The person who came bent his knees, still replied with a smile: "Xie Niangniang cares, the princess has not seen the prince for a long time, last night Xiao Beisheng was a new love, and the slave guessed that there was no rest!" ”

Yu'er saw what she said explicitly, and the smile on her face couldn't help but contain a hint of embarrassment. Princess Jiuye is a woman on the grassland, I heard that most of them are enthusiastic and unrestrained, and even a girl is so straightforward when I see a girl today, what she said is true!

Yu'er cleared her throat and asked again, "I don't know what the princess sent you to find this palace?" ”

When the maid heard Yu'er ask, she patted her thigh and said angrily: "You see the memory of the slave maid, I almost forgot about the business, the princess specially prepared a thin wine in Yikun Palace for the beauty of Xie Gegong Niangniang, and I hope that the maid will appreciate her face and drink a glass!" ”

The concubines in the Forbidden City have nothing to do all year round, and such things are common. One person invites three or five people to get close, or holds a banquet in his own palace, drinks and composes poems, or holds a tea party in the imperial garden, and has fun and enjoys flowers. But she didn't know Princess Jiuye well, and she didn't even say it once, how could she think of inviting herself. Yu'er couldn't help but show suspicion on her face, and the little maid saw it and explained: "Niangniang don't have to be suspicious, our princess didn't know anyone when she first arrived, but when I saw it yesterday, I felt that a few maids looked at the face and asked the slave maid to invite these people!" ”

Yu'er didn't want to say anything more when she heard her say this, so she stood up and ordered: "You go back first, and the palace will come after changing your clothes!" ”

"Yes! The slave and maid will retire first! Seeing that Yu'er finally agreed, the little maid went happily.

Red maple is planted all over the palace in Yikun, and it is rumored that the first emperor specially planted it for her in order to show his sincerity to Concubine Jing. Red symbolizes the emperor's strong and hot love, but it is a pity that this love did not let the beloved woman get the peace and joy she deserved!

Princess Jiuye is wearing a bright red dress today, and such a straight red jade can't be worn. Not only Yu'er, but also all the concubines in the palace except for the queen mother are not qualified to wear it.

But Princess Jiuye is different, she is the main wife, and she is the woman who is being married by King Jiuye carrying a sedan chair, so she can naturally be such a color. The flowers on her head are also red, one by one inserted in the inky green silk, and the ear strings of red coral are pendantd, which echoes the peacock tassels made of red coral beads on her head.

She was originally born beautiful, with the pride and enthusiasm unique to a prairie woman, and today she is dressed like a fire, so warm that people can't open their eyes.

At that time, it was the golden autumn, the courtyard was red, Princess Jiuye stood under the tree in red, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and the two small pear vortices were like a fragrant wine, which made people intoxicated at first sight.

Yu'er thought to herself that King Jiuye was really a blessing, and it was not in vain to be able to get this beauty!

Yu'er held Jinxin's hand and slowly approached, and Princess Jiuye had been standing quietly under the maple tree to greet her with a smile. When Yu'er also came to the tree, just about to say hello, Princess Jiuye took her hand, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, and said softly: "Niangniang doesn't have to be polite, although the concubine is a generation older than you, but in terms of age, you and I are almost the same, don't care too much about those complicated etiquette!" ”

Seeing that she was so straightforward, Yu'er suddenly had a good impression of her in her heart, so she also replied with a smile: "The princess is reasonable, then I will follow the princess today!" ”

Princess Jiuye took her by the hand and took her all the way to the small garden behind Yikun Palace, where the palace people had already cleaned up and placed a few low tables, and after each low table, there was a futon. Now there are several people kneeling on the futon, in order are Shuguifei, Concubine De, Concubine Xian, and Rou Zhaoyi, who is the head of the nine concubines but has long fallen out of favor.

Yu'er saw that everyone was about to say goodbye, but Princess Jiuye took her hand and refused to let go, seeing Yu'er looking at herself, she "giggled" and said to the concubines: "Today you come to my palace as a guest, then come according to my rules, the rules in this Forbidden City are too big, and we have to salute and say goodbye at every turn, we will forget all these today, steal half a day of leisure, don't talk about the rules and just chat and drink, okay?" ”

Everyone saw that she was wanton and emotional, and it was not a major matter, so there was no reason not to allow it, and they all followed her words one after another. After Yu'er sat down, Princess Jiuye also knelt down on the chairman, her eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and a somewhat playful voice sounded, "Originally, I also sent someone to invite the queen, but it's a pity that she really didn't have time to take care of the draft, and now it seems that it's better if she doesn't come, otherwise you won't be so easy." He said with a smile in his eyes.

When everyone saw her talking about the queen's inconvenience to answer, they could only smile awkwardly, and Yu'er covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed a few times.

After the chamberlain of Yikun Palace poured wine for all the ladies and ladies, Princess Jiuye raised her glass and said with a smile: "The concubine has just arrived, thank you for your face!" As he spoke, he tilted his head and drank the wine in his glass.

Everyone hurriedly picked up the wine cup in front of them and drank it, and Yu'er felt that the wine had a strange sour taste, and couldn't help frowning. At this time, Li Xiyue said with a bright and shy smile on her face: "Princess, it is not advisable to drink alcohol when you are pregnant at the beginning of this palace, and I hope the princess will forgive me!" ”

Princess Jiuye also changed her face with surprise, but Yu'er also read three points of helplessness from this happy face. She has been married to King Jiuye for many years, but she has never had a child under her knees, and she is always envious and sad when she sees others pregnant. Looking at the faces of the rest of the people, most of them sneered, and Li Xiyue's pretentious and smug appearance was really disdainful.

"Then ask someone to change the pulp for you, our Mongolian grape pulp is also the best to drink, but it's a pity that you can't drink such a good mare's milk wine!" Princess Jiuye shook her head slightly as she spoke, with a look of regret.

Only then did Yu'er know that what she had just drunk was the famous Mongolian mare's milk wine, so it was no wonder that she had a fishy taste in her mouth.

Then the concubines saluted Princess Jiuye one by one, and after a few rounds, they slowly lost their sense of restraint, and when they were joking, they suddenly heard the emperor's powerful voice with a hint of playfulness behind them, "The concubines are so Yaxing!" ”

Everyone hurriedly turned around to look, only to see Chu Sheng standing at the corner of the garden and walking inside, followed by Chu Ning, who was slightly tired. Yu'er remembered what Princess Fang Jiuye's maidservant said about Xiao Beisheng's new love, and swallowed her saliva in embarrassment.

Chu Sheng's face was good today, his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and finally stopped on Princess Jiuye. I saw that his pupils were slightly dilated, his eyes were full of surprise, and after the surprise, there was a trace of regret that was not easy to detect. In addition, the eyes that poured like water were full of admiration, surprise and fascination.

Not only Yu'er, but all of you are people who are used to staying in the palace, and it has long become instinct to figure out the emperor's expression, and everyone is slightly embarrassed when they see the emperor like this. Concubine Shu took the lead in clearing her throat, and said on her knees: "Concubine please the emperor!" The rest of the crowd also hurried to their feet.

The emperor came back to his senses from his misty lust, and when he saw Chu Ning's smiling expression, he coughed slightly twice, and ordered: "Don't be polite, sit down!" ”

"I heard that the princess was holding a banquet in the palace today, and I specially came back with the imperial uncle, wanting to ask for a cup of Mongolian mare's milk wine." The emperor said, his eyes looked at the person in front of him for a moment.

"What's so difficult about this, the emperor wants to send someone to get it!" Princess Jiuye said, and ordered someone to come up and add two more seats next to the main seat.

After Chu Sheng sat down on the main seat, he turned his head slightly to the lovely man who was like a fire on his side and said: "I have come all the way, and I saw that the maple leaves in this palace are just red, just like the clothes worn by the princess today, gorgeous and unparalleled. The emperor's voice was slightly lower with a hint of charm, and his hazy eyes were like the moonlight in early winter, faint and soft, enveloping the princess.

As soon as these words came out, even Yu'er couldn't help but change her face, fortunately, she was already a serious princess, otherwise when she saw Chu Sheng's expression today, she was afraid that she would be included in the harem immediately.

Xu is accustomed to hearing the praise of Princess Jiuye but didn't realize that there was anything wrong, she opened her mouth and smiled at the emperor, and said: "We Mongolians all love heavy colors, red should be red, purple should be purple, unlike you women in the pass who only love some light colors, delicate pink, smoke blue is so boring!" ”

What she said offended all the women present, Yu'er thought that Chu Sheng would argue a few words, but after thinking that he was slightly stunned, he suddenly smiled like a big realization, "What the princess said is extremely true!" But beside him, Chu Ning smiled lightly and said: "This king thinks that the thick ink and light color have its beauty, the red and purple are gorgeous, and the ink and white also have their own charm." ”

Yu'er wore a crescent white palace dress today. The brocade paid tribute by Suzhou is woven inch by inch by the most skilled weavers with silk and silver thread, and then cut out by the craftsmen of the clothing bureau according to the body size.

This palace costume is nothing special at first sight, but if it is born in the sun, it can give birth to sparkling, and the cuffs and skirts have intricate beaded patterns, and you can see that the person who made this dress has put a lot of thought into it.

Yu'er raised her eyes gratefully when she heard Chu Ning say this, but she was facing him looking at her with eyes that were soft like the first rays of light emitted by the rising sun, which were both warm and lingering.

Yu'er's heart seemed to skip a beat, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes, she didn't understand why King Jiuye looked at her like this, but as if she had grasped a trace of the surging ambiguity, like a man-eating monster rushing towards her, she didn't dare to think about it and didn't want to think about it. Thinking of this, she raised her head firmly to the eyes of King Shangjiuye, raised the wine cup and whispered the word thank you, and immediately drank all the wine in her hand in one go, and no longer looked at Chu Ning's solemn face.

Yu'er is not like Princess Jiuye, she rarely drinks so much, and she was so distracted that she coughed urgently. Jinxin hurriedly stepped forward to pat her on the back and smooth her breath.

Chu Sheng then remembered to look at her, "What's wrong with Yu'er?" ”

Yu'er stood up, I don't know if it was because of the wine or the cough just now, her little face was flushed, she leaned over and replied to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubines are a little drunk and drunk, and I hope that the emperor, the prince, and the princess will atone for their sins, and let the concubines go back to the palace first!" ”

Chu Sheng also stood up and walked to her side, and asked with concern, "Is Yu'er okay?" I'll send you back to the palace! As he spoke, he forcefully covered the small soft wattle with his big hand.
